'5PECIFICA'IION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,139, dated December 9, 1884.

(N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EMIL L. FRANK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Key-Ring, Button-Hook, and Nail-Cleaner, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to a combined keyring, button-hook, and finger-nail cleaner; and it consists in the parts which will be hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the device, having the button-hook and nailcleaner open and extending outward. This view shows a key in outlines secured to the semicircular ring. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device, with the nail-cleaner and button-hook closed. Fig. 3 is a top plan view.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents a straight bar. having the ends of the semicircular ring B rigidly secured at A A thereto. Said ring is constructed of resilient metal, and provided with separable contact ends I) b, for the insertion and removal of the keys.

0 is the button-hook, jointed at one end of the bar A at A. Said buttonhook, when not in use, is folded against the side face of the bar A, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

D represents the nail-cleaning bar, jointed at D to the bar A.

D represents a file-surface on the inner face of the bar D, adapted to reduceand smooth a finger-nail.

D is a nail-cleaning knife-point on the end of bar D. Said bar is provided with a heellug, 0, having a central opening therein for the reception of the pivotal bolt e.

a is an opening in the side of the bar A, in which the heel e of the bar D is pivoted. There is a similar opening on the opposite end and reverse side of the bar A, for the re ception of the pivotal end of the hook C. The device herein shown is preferably constructed of metal, with a semicircular ring of sufficient capacity to carry the average number of pocket-keys.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desi re to secure by Letters Patent- The article herein described, consisting of a key-ring provided withanail-cleaner and button-hook,all arranged and adapted to fold into a compact form, substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
